Philly duo PO PO is the latest and greatest to come out of the Mad Decent camp, which ostensibly means these guys have their hands in some impressive projects. For their forthcoming release the band has worked with Diplo as well as producer Nick Launay (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Arcade Fire, et al.) and bandmember Zeb Malick boasts production credit on Theophilus London and Spank Rock tracks.
PO PO will release their debut full-length, Dope Boy Magick, via Mad Decent on February 28th (avail for pre-order here). Check out their video below for “Teen Dreamz” and “Let’s Get Away”, directed by Clayton Vomero.
Brooklyn-via-San Diego outfit Crocodiles have announced the June 4th release of their latest full-length, Endless Flowers.“Sunday (Psychic Conversation #9)” is said album’s lead single, released yesterday courtesy of Souterrain Transmissions.
Back in 2008 the band gained substantial popularity after a warm endorsement from No Age. A few years later and a coastal hop under their belts, Crocodiles offers us an impressive, polished pop anthem.
Brooklyn/San Francisco duo Mi Ami will release their Decade full-length via the LA-based DIY label 100% Silk on March 20th.

Give a listen to the lead single, “Time of Love”, below and grab your tickets for their Record Release Party at Glasslands on 4/7!
Today would be a good day for you to head over to Gorilla vs. Bear, where Grimes is hosting and sharing some decidedly great stuff. She shared a few lesser-known Mac Demarco videos and had some nice things to say about her fellow Montreal-ean(?):
It’s a crime that this video has so few views. It was shot on 35 mm by my friend Evan Prosofsky who is an unbelievable cinematographer/ D.O.P. This is one of the best music videos I’ve seen in a long time, and Mac DeMarco needs to get famous asap. He has an album coming out on Captured Tracks soon! If you like this you should also check out the video for Only You. — Grimes
